7 Easy Ways to Firm Sagging Breasts

We won’t admit PDP defectors – Enugu APC

The Enugu State chapter of the All Progressives Congress on Wednesday said it would not admit any member of Peoples Democratic Party into its fold. The Publicity Secretary of APC in Enugu State, Mrs. Kate Offor, disclosed this while briefing journalists on the outcome of the party’s State Executive Committee meeting.

It was gathered that the decision was informed by feelers that some prominent members of the PDP in the state are plotting to defect to the party, and in the process, capitalise on their ‘high profile’ to hijack key appointments meant for the state at the national level.  It is widely speculated in Enugu that a former power minister, Prof. Barth Nnaji, is planning to move to the APC.

Also, there were reports on Monday that some members of the APC paid a courtesy call on a former governor of old Anambra State, Chief Jim Nwobodo, a PDP chieftain in Enugu State.

Apparently reacting to the alleged plan by the PDP bigwigs to move into the APC, Offor equally revealed that the SEC frowned at some elements within the state chapter of the party, who, without authorisation, had commenced talks with the PDP members who intend to cross over to the APC.  She warned that the party would not hesitate to sanction any member found to be involved in unauthorised moves to admit PDP members into the party.    Offor noted that the PDP chieftains who intend to join the APC intend to reap where they did not sow.

The Enugu State APC spokesperson said,
“At an enlarged meeting of the State Executive Committee of Enugu State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, we unequivocally resolved that the membership drive aimed at enlisting Professor Barth Nnaji, Chief Jim Nwobodo and co into our great party be stopped forthwith. 

 “For us it is medicine after death, given the shameful result we recorded in the presidential and governorship elections, where we got less than three per cent and 10 per cent of the total votes cast in Enugu State respectively.

 “Accordingly, we are outraged that some elements without authorisation or due process had already held sinister meetings with Professor Nnaji in his Umuode village and if not stopped will head to God knows where.

 “We hold Professor Nnaji, robotic engineer, and our elder statesman, Chief Jim Nwobodo, and other eminent sons in very high esteem, however, we frown seriously at clandestine moves of some people reaping where they did not sow.”

Offor alleged that Nnaji refused to join the party when the APC presidential campaign council lobbied him to join the party before the elections.

The Iranian cargo ship is carrying some 1,500 tons of foodstuffs consisting of rice, wheat, canned fish, tents, blankets and pharmaceutical items for people in Yemen.  The Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) has been trying to dispatch humanitarian aid to Yemen by sea and air, but has failed to do so due to Saudi Arabia’s full blockade of the war-ravaged country.

Iran had earlier sent five consignments of humanitarian aid to Yemen, including a total of 69 tons of relief, medical aid, and consumer items, the agency reported.

SA court halts deportation of immigrants

South Africa’s High Court on Wednesday in Johannesburg halted the deportation of hundreds of  African immigrants who were arrested in the wake of the recent wave of xenophobic violence.

David Cote, the lawyer for Human Rights Or africaganisation, that the migrants, believed to number between 280 and 400, were detained at a Johannesburg Church and in the central business district on Friday.  He said a court order was obtained on Tuesday to halt their deportation for two weeks and to gain access to them to discuss their situation.

Cote said, “The court order does not concern hundreds of others who have been arrested in Johannesburg and Durban in recent weeks.  “We don’t know if any of them have already been deported, but it will obviously be difficult for the government to deport such a large number of people.”

He criticised the arrest as an “inappropriate response” to xenophobic attacks on immigrants from Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Somalia, Congo and other countries in April. “At least, seven people were killed and thousands left homeless and foreign-owned shops looted,” he said.  Cote said South African government was responding to concerns about the presence of illegal immigrants, stressing, however, that “some of those arrested are asylum seekers.”

Mercy Aigbe uncovers Why Her 1st Marriage Didn't Work

Celebrated Yoruba on-screen character, Mercy Aigbe-Gentry, has uncovered why her first marriage did not work in a meeting with the Sunday edition of The Punch. As per her the marriage did not work in light of the fact that she was youthful, innocent and in particular she had issues with her relative.

Leniency Aigbe said that her mother by marriage did not want her child to wed from another tribe.

“I had a bad experience the first time, so I had some reservations and I just wanted to face my career, even though I loved him. I decided to put my trust in God and just go with the flow. I was happy and scared at the same time. Then, I was young and naive. Now, I handle issues differently. Also, the major reason my first marriage failed was because my ex-husband’s mum did not want him to marry from another tribe” she said.

Mercy Aigbe went on to clear any notion that has present marriage has been controversial.

“I do not think I have had any controversies since I got married. They were just misconceptions. People thought I married a married man and I was a second wife. What they did not know or care to know was that he was already a divorcee when we met” she said.

In April 2013, there were reports that Mercy Aigbe was allegedly beaten by her husband at an event.

A few days after the couple released a YouTube video dismissing the claims.

Tanker drivers ordered to vacate Alaka and Eko bridges.

Tanker drivers in Lagos State have been requested to abandon the Alaka and Eko bridges. The legislature said their exercises were creating burdens for different drivers in the state.


The General Manager of the Lagos State Transport Management Authority, Babatunde Edu, while driving a group of government authorities around the territory on Tuesday, said the activity likewise contradicted the state movement law.

He said,
“The areas are gradually becoming an eye sore; and if not properly managed, this situation can worsen to the level of lawlessness and indiscipline being witnessed daily in the Apapa area.

“This act of insensitivity has crippled the economy of the state and denied other people their right to livelihood.

“The government will ensure that every citizen has a right to the roads. These roads are not constructed only for articulated vehicles.”

Edu said the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority Law of 2007 restricted the driving of articulated vehicles, lorries, trailers and tankers on the BRT lite corridor between 11am and 4pm and between 11pm and 5pm.

He urged the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers to educate its members on the need for total compliance with the state road traffic law.

Summit: Mama Peace denies blocking Buhari’s wife

Wife of the President, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, on Tuesday denied media reports that her plan to host the 8th summit of the African First Ladies Peace Mission on Friday is designed to deny the wife of the President-elect, Hajia Aisha Buhari, the opportunity of becoming the President of the mission.

Mrs. Jonathan, who is the current President, had summoned a meeting of the mission during which new executive members are expected to emerge.

Media reports had it that the election would have been held in July but the President’s wife brought it back to May to allow her successor to emerge before her husband will cease to be President from May 29.

But a statement by Mr. Ayo Adewuyi, on Tuesday said there was no truth in the reports.

Adewuyi explained that Mrs. Jonathan was elected President in July 2012 and was meant to serve for two years, according to the group’s internal regulation.

He further said that while her tenure ought to have ended in 2014, when a fresh election should have held, the President’s wife drew the attention of her colleagues to the then forthcoming election in Nigeria, which preparation would not enable her host the summit.

According to him, Mrs. Jonathan therefore proposed that the summit should hold after the general elections, and it was accordingly agreed that it should be held in July 2015.

Adewuyi however added that there was an understanding among members that if President Goodluck Jonathan did not succeed in his re-election bid, the President’s wife would convene the summit in May to enable the election of a new President and ensure a smooth handover since her tenure has ended.

The statement read in part, “Arising from the above, it is therefore clear that this is not a personal matter nor specifically a Nigeria sole affair but a continental platform governed by its own rules and protocols just as similar international organisations.

“It would therefore be out of place for anyone to insinuate that it is intended to shut out the incoming First Lady. This cannot be farther from the truth.

“We state therefore without any iota of equivocation that it is mischievous for anyone to scheme to cause disaffection between the outgoing and incoming First Ladies, Dame Patience Jonathan, and Hajia Aisha Buhari.

“Let us therefore come together in our tradition of hospitality to heartily welcome our guests, the African First Ladies, as they arrive Abuja for the 8th Summit of the Mission.

“Let us always remember that the personal ambition of anybody is not worth destroying the image of the nation.”

APC govt will ask looters to return money – El-Rufai

Kaduna State Governor-elect and former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nasir el-Rufai, said on Tuesday that the incoming government of Muhammadu Buhari would ask corrupt politicians   to return every kobo stolen by them.

He also said that the Buhari administration would inherit a huge debt from the Goodluck Jonathan government.

The governor-elect told executive members of the National Union of Textile Garments and Tailoring Workers of Nigeria, who visited   him in Kaduna, that such politicians must be ready to return all   ill-gotten funds after May 29.

He however said those (politicians) who were not corrupt had no cause to fear.

According to him, the measure was imperative because the All Progressives Congress-led government would be in a dire financial strait on assumption of office.

El-Rufai said, “We will politely ask those who stole government money to return the funds. This is because the people, who are in government now, are there to work for themselves. But the APC government is made up of people who are ready to work for the masses and the betterment of the country.

“We will work with the textile unions to ensure that the lives of the average Nigerians get better.”

The ex-minister also decried the poor state of the textile industry in Kaduna State and gave assurance that his administration would revamp it.

He lamented the current employment figure of 1,600 people in the textile sector, describing it as unacceptable.

El-Rufai added that the textile industry in Kaduna alone used to employ about 33,000 workers.

According to him , the APC government will revive the industry so that it can   generate employment and impact on the lives of the people.

He said, “We have met at a forum of northern governors-elect and we decided to ensure the revival of the textile industry. It is a shame that the largest economy in Africa imports textile materials from Senegal and other countries.”

The President of the union, Oladele Hunsu, recalled el-Rufai’s feat as minister of the FCT and urged him (el-Rufai) to take steps towards reviving the textile industry.

27-year-old man nabbed in Lagos for cruelly killing, dismembering friend’s body

A 27-year-old man, Fatai Afobaje, who allegedly killed his friend and dismembered his body, was on Tuesday in Lagos hauled up before an Ebute Meta Chief Magistrates’ Court. Afobaje, who resides at 332, Oko Agbonla Irese Village in Magbon, a suburb of Lagos, is facing a two-count charge of conspiracy and murder.


The prosecutor, ASP Elizabeth Ekuma, said that the offences were committed on Feb.13 at about 1.00 a.m. at the residence of the accused.

She said Afobaje killed one Rafiu Sulaimon ,44, his close friend, who was on a visit. Ekuma said the accused allegedly cut-off the head and hands of the friend using a knife. “The victim had gone to visit his friend and on getting there, the security man at the of the accused allegedly charmed Sulaimon which rendered him unconscious.

“Sulaiman was carried into the room where Afobaje chopped off his head and hands before he buried his trunk.” Ekuma said when some policemen conducted a search into the premises of the accused, they discovered the chopped-off parts of the deceased where they were buried.

She added that the wife of the deceased was able to identify her murdered husband when she saw his wedding ring on one of the chopped-off fingers inside a calabash in Afobaje’s home. The offences, Ekuma noted, contravened Sections 221 and 231of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.

According to NAN, Section 221 prescribes capital punishment for murder.

The Magistrate, Mr A.O. Komolafe, ordered that the accused should be remanded at Ikoyi Prisons pending advice from the State Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). The case has been adjourned to June 22.
